Dennis Chew, 52, Late On 1st Day Of School At SUSS: "So Embarrassing"

We've all been students before and know how nerve-racking it is to be running late for school —especially when it's your very first day.

Last week (Jan 12) marked local actor-DJ Dennis Chew's first day at the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). The Ngee Ann Poly graduate is now enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Chinese Studies course at SUSS. 

Taking to Instagram to document his first day of school, the 52-year-old Love 972 DJ shared that he was feeling "very nervous" yet "looking forward to where this journey would take [him]". 

The jock, however, admitted that he didn't do such a great job managing his time that day. 

"I'll only reach school at 7.15pm... My class starts at 7pm," he said sheepishly.

As a part-time student, Dennis, who's still continuing his full-time job as a DJ, only has classes from 7pm to 10pm every evening. 

"It's my first day of school and I'm already 15 minutes late. So embarrassing," he said, adding that he'll just "see how things go when [he] arrives at the classroom later."

Dennis' flustered journey to school didn't just end there.

Upon arriving at the campus, the jock immediately rushed to his classroom, only to almost stumble into the wrong lecture room.

Thankfully, his professor recognised him and stopped him just in time.

"Dennis, here!" exclaimed the professor, prompting the jock to run over while his laughter echoed through the hallway.

"I wasn't even at the right door!" Dennis then cackled out loud.

Well, at least he doesn’t have to worry about his professor remembering him?
